Description
As graduate students who want to work in industry, you’re probably thinking a lot about transferable skills and building your resume. That’s important, but you’re likely missing an equally important aspect of your job search: making a positive impression and standing out to prospective employers.
Do you really know how to approach an employer at a career fair? Do you regularly write follow-up emails? Do you research companies before applying? These things can make all the difference - take it from a pro! Matt Bryan, Squad Leader for Manufacturing in Enterprise Data & Advanced Analytics at Siemens Energy, who regularly hires and supervises interns, will lead a workshop highlighting key practices that are often overlooked. Join us to learn the simple things you can do to stand out as you pursue your next steps. Lunch to follow!
This is part of the ongoing Accelerate to Industry (A2i) series. A2i is a workforce development program that allows graduate students to explore diverse career paths with our industry partners in the Charlotte region and beyond
